Answer (1)

To prepare the statement of financial position and the note for property, plant, and equipment, we need to make adjustments based on the additional information provided and update the initial balances. This process involves calculating adjustments for interest, insurance, depreciation, inventory, trade receivables, and other financial statement components.
a) Statement of Financial Position as at 28 February 2018
Assets

Non-Current Assets

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Land and Buildings: R500,000 (not depreciated)
Helicopter: R500,000 (after adjustments explained in notes)


Investment

Fixed Deposit: R800,000




Current Assets

Inventory: R250,000
Trade Receivables: R400,800 (R409,800 - R9,000)
Cash and Bank: R300,000
Interest Receivable: R60,500



Total Assets = R2,311,300
Equity and Liabilities

Equity
Capital: R3,500,000
Drawings: -R499,500
Total Comprehensive Income: R1,737,000



Total Equity = R4,737,500

Non-Current Liabilities

Long-term Loan: R6,000,000


Current Liabilities

Trade Payables: R492,000
Accrued Expenses (Water and Electricity): R8,000



Total Liabilities = R500,000
b) Note for Property, Plant, and Equipment

Land and Buildings : R500,000 (No depreciation)

Helicopter :

Cost (1 March 2017): R5,000,000
Accumulated Depreciation (1 March 2017): -R2,250,000


Depreciation :

Helicopter: Traded in on 1 December 2017 for a new helicopter costing R9,000,000
New Helicopter Depreciation: R750,000

In preparing these sections of financial statements, it's important to ensure all adjustments are accurately calculated and applied to portray the true financial state of the business.
